After what feels to be a half-year hiatus, the FLPW has once again rolled out one if its most popular institutions: the single-elimination tournament. Split up across four days, the event marks the first anniversary of FLPW on twitch.
Day One concluded with the first batch of eight matches from round one last night, and if the showings tonight offer hints of what's to come, this tournament is going to be full of good matches and severe upsets.
To talk about the former, match of the night went to Jacob Drummond and Adam Pubert for their knock-out brawl with blood, sweat, and reversed finishers. Even though it ended with the referee not seeing a rope break, it was a brutal match that was impossible to tell who would win.
To talk about the latter, you'd be hard pressed to find a match tonight that you could not justify as an upset. Marcus Gravy dominated previous tournament winner Salty Marcellus, Hunter Hardgold rolling up former tournament finalist Tyler T-Man into a small package, Laine Whitaker pinning Ken Nakano, and crowd-favourite Adam Roggeveen powered though to windmill slam Anthony Brown for the win. Something of note is that, of all the previous wrestlers that have made it to a tournament final, none of them made it to round two. Jacob Drummond, Salty Marcellus, and Tyler T-Man all fell. The only one who remains to fight tomorrow is Eddie Chumbo, more so than any previous tournament alumni, you could easily say nobody wants him to proceed.
The second half of round one airs tonight at twitch.tv/thatguy4878 at 8:00pmEST.
